Extra: A Brand New Life 149

Zhou Ping hadn't noticed at first, but when he realized the little girl was crying, he immediately panicked and began to apologize profusely, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please don't cry. I don't even know what to do when you cry like this. It's alright now, don't cry, okay? Please, stop crying."

While offering her tissues to wipe her tears, he tried to comfort her.

The little girl cried and shook her head, "It has nothing to do with you, brother. It's me... it's all me..."

"Why are you taking the blame for my mistake? Stop crying, will you?" he coaxed gently. "The cafeteria still sells milk tea at this time. Come on, I'll take you to buy some milk tea. Drinking milk tea always makes you happy. You really like it, don't you?"

"Mhm," the little girl replied in a muffled voice, but she began wiping her own tears and stopped crying.

"Let's go." Zhou Ping took the light backpack off the little girl, carried it for her, and then led her towards the cafeteria by hand.
